MAKKAH/RIYADH: Relatives and friends have shared touching memories of a 20-year-old Saudi student who was killed in the UK last Friday. Those who knew Mohammed Al-Qasim described him as a kind young man who valued his family and was committed to his studies.
A student at the University of Jeddah, after graduating from Al-Bushra High School, he had traveled to the UK to study English and broaden his horizons and had ambitions to pursue a career in industrial engineering. He died after he was stabbed during a late-night incident in the English city of Cambridge.
“His passing was a devastating shock to everyone,” his uncle, Abdulrahman Al-Qasim, told Arab News.
“Mohammed was deeply loved and left a lasting impression on all who knew him, especially as the only son to his parents, born after four daughters.
“He also leaves behind a younger brother who is still in middle school.”
